Japanese Clothing



Many people believe a kimono to be a Japanese's everyday clothing. This is wrong kimono are mostly worn for religous purposes. After Japan opened up for trading with the outside world, other options started to come in. Officers and men of some units of the shogunal army and navy were among the first to adopt western clothing. The style only grew from there. Students of public colleges and universities often wear  western-style uniforms and businessmen, teachers, doctors, bankers, and other leaders of the new society wear suits to work and at large social functions. Although western-style dress was becoming more popular for the work place, schools, and streets it was not worn by everybody. Since World War II most areas of Japanese life have been taken over by western clothing.
